Order Fillers are typically employed by retailers, big box stores and online businesses to assist with the packing and distribution of various items. In addition to warehouses and distribution centers, Order Fillers sometimes work on-site for retailers that ship directly from their stores.

Once the items are pulled, the Order Filler prepares and packs them for shipment.
